See and seize opportunities
Entrepreneurship doesn’t have to be a struggle. However, opportunities are not always obvious. Many people wonder how I can turn a transatlantic cruise, a relationship with a playboy, or even picking olives in Italy into a successful retreat, book, or workshop. In this workshop, I will help you identify your added value, and show you the opportunities.
There are three important steps: Recognize, Seize, and Share:
- Be open and creative: recognize opportunities
- Take action: seize opportunities
- Be visible and communicate effectively to share your project
Make money doing what you love
The secret is: don’t think of it as a business. Do what you like and what you are good at and business will come to you:
- Realize that your added value often lies very close to your passion
- Find out what your clients need and how your offer meets that need
- You don’t need any more diploma’s: work with what you have
- Create a slogan that makes your service sound unique
- Start talking about it, be visible, offer tips and advice
- Stop listening to people who say what you want is not possible
- Try things out. Start doing what you love, be out there!
- Grow and learn
About the workshop
Want to make a good start and get inspired? The online workshop ‘How to turn anything into a business’ is an interactive session for anybody who wants to turn their dreams into reality. Based on my personal experiences and adventures (which I will share) I will give concrete tips on how to create your dream life.
Each participant gets the opportunity to share their current situation and dream. Then we all help to bridge that gap. It is interesting that by both receiving and giving tips, your added value becomes very clear. At the end of the session, you will have a better understanding of how you can contribute to others and your (business) offer.
An inspiring workshop about seeing and seizing opportunities, how to turn things around, finding creative solutions and access to a world of possibilities and like-minded people.
The workshop will be in English or Dutch (depending on the language of the participants).
